Item #12 <br />CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF September 4, 2001 <br />TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />FROM: Ronald C. Kenny, Director of Parks, Recreation and Family Services 10 <br />- <br />SUBJECT: Approval of Application Resolution for Roberti-Z'berg-Harris Block Grant <br />Program Funding <br />DATE: August 20, 2001 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Over a year ago, the citizens of the State of California approved the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean <br />Water, Clean Air and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000. This important bond measure guaranteed <br />funding throughout the state to enhance parks, recreation and leisure time pursuits. <br />ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: <br />For the past twelve months the state legislature and interested parties have been developing guidelines for <br />the application and distribution of funding under the Park Bond Act of 2000. Recently, the City of Colton <br />received official notification of the funding totals to be received under the Roberti-Z'berg-Harris Grant <br />Program. <br />The program provides funding for park acquisition, restoration, rehabilitation, improvement and <br />development projects. The funding applies only to urbanized cities. <br />The State Department of Parks and Recreation, who oversees this funding program, has requested that the <br />City Council approve a resolution encumbering the funds for the Roberti-Z'berg-Harris Grant program. <br />City projects to be funded would be those recommended by the City's Recreation & Parks Commission <br />and approved by the City Council. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None. <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />The City of Colton will receive $137,866 from the Roberti-Z'berg-Harris Grant. The funds are to be <br />placed in account #248-5745 and increase appropriations in account 4248-6950-6957-3890. <br />Approval to Encumber Funds <br />Page 2 <br />
